I guess the big question is who is going to get her senate seat.
But the question remains, will Bill White (D-Houston) be taking her Senate seat?
White has filed to run for the Democrat nomination for Governor.
The senate seat replacement will depend somewhat upon when she officially retires, assuming she retires as she has said she would. Upon retirement the Gov. can appoint a temp replacement to fill the seat until an election can be held to fill the remainder of the term. If she had retired in the fall/late 09 like she said she would then the special election could have been held on May 8, 2010. I don’t know how the dates will work out now as she delays the retirement.
